In Albania there are no indifferent masses, nor a herd instinct, says Dr. Herbert Louis; , says Dr. Herbert Louis; They are the Nitzsche’s over-men, these primitive Albanians - something between kings and tigers, says the other scholar Henry Noel Brailsford, while Herodotus about Thracians said: , says the other scholar Henry Noel Brailsford, while Herodotus about Thracians said: If they were either under the government of an individual or united among themselves, their strength would, in my opinion, render them invincible; but this is a thing impossible… (1)

Albanianism is a small world in itself, where diversity is extremely emphasized and individuality is in culmination. To put together a group of single-minded Albanians, is quite impossible, even if this is required by certain circumstances. This peculiarity has many negative consequences for the strongly needed national unity, but in is a small world in itself, where diversity is extremely emphasized and individuality is in culmination. To put together a group of single-minded Albanians, is quite impossible, even if this is required by certain circumstances. This peculiarity has many negative consequences for the strongly needed national unity, but in a global perspective, the individuality is a virtue. As it seems, Albanians will continue to face many problems between themselves until the national interests will disappear worldwide and a pure type of globalism will start to rule; or until that time when only the individual interest will come to terms. Not accidentally, the empires that have ruled Albania have made Albanians emperors, viziers or kings. They have noticed and used this individuality, this Albanian virtue of leading.

Albanians have functioned as a group as far as a Albanians have functioned as a group as far as a family/tribe level (not any wider), and for this reason, the institution of the family is very much developed among them. However, in the modern days, the family has started to get more vulnerably affected by the loss of its cultural elements.

An Albanian has a history of survival, and the constant imminent danger has instinctively prepared him to reinforce his houses, transforming them into Kulla (Albanian characteristic towers), protecting their doorstep with guns (thus the keeping of guns in the Albanian culture is a heritage that has to do with the protection of the family and honor, when there is no state authority to do so). The ability of an Albanian have been only to protect his family, considering that he has always been under attack by the super powers of the time, so An Albanian has a history of survival, and the constant imminent danger has instinctively prepared him to reinforce his houses, transforming them into Kulla (Albanian characteristic towers), protecting their doorstep with guns (thus the keeping of guns in the Albanian culture is a heritage that has to do with the protection of the family and honor, when there is no state authority to do so). The ability of an Albanian have been only to protect his family, considering that he has always been under attack by the super powers of the time, so he couldn’t manage to protect the deeper edges of his fellow-men (co-nationals). This constant concentration on the family has consequently caused . This constant concentration on the family has consequently caused a lack of a noted national awareness, as well until today we have a generation of leaders that are more interested in their family matters and their close circle of friendship connections than on the Albanians living at the far corners of their nation, in a difficult political and economical situation under the constant multidimensional oppression of their neighbors, so that , as well until today we have a generation of leaders that are more interested in their family matters and their close circle of friendship connections than on the Albanians living at the far corners of their nation, in a difficult political and economical situation under the constant multidimensional oppression of their neighbors, so that the Albanians continue to shrink in their ethnic boundaries even in these modern times. Meanwhile, the Albanian people continue behaving differently towards foreigners and differently towards themselves. In relations with the foreigners, surprisingly, there is a . Meanwhile, the Albanian people continue behaving differently towards foreigners and differently towards themselves. In relations with the foreigners, surprisingly, there is a divided unity in polarized duality, while towards themselves it is extremely , while towards themselves it is extremely haughty. Let’s focus on the anthropological and cultural reasons of why this happens.

Anthropology

Even today we are producing the causes for the consequences of tomorrow. and those consequences that we are undergoing today derive from a chain of causes that lies beyond our times. Even today we are producing the causes for the consequences of tomorrow. We all are a product of history. Every person in the world holds on his shoulders the human history, since the creation and until today, and we can say that we are the ultimate link of the evolution chain that derives from the past. Meanwhile, science clarifies that the human DNA saves registered data for at least 6000 years, which means that if before 6000 years our ancestors have had a certain cultural experience, it still remains in our DNA for a long period of time. If an individual decides to remain faithful to the inherited culture and traditions, the cultural elements will continue to pertain for the next 6000 years, among future generations. The common experiences of a people are being registered in their own genetic code. According to the scholars of these fields, from the analysis of DNA, DR, DQ and HLA (the antigens in the white blood cells), Albanians own a genetic identity in themselves, which is described as the oldest in the Mediterranean and very homogeneous (especially before the arrival of the heterogenic Indo-European people before 2000 B.C.) according to being ancient and unchangeable, but very heterogeneous in their deep roots.

Here are some of the Albanians haplogroups:
Y-chromosome (Y-DNA)
E1b1b1a; E1b1b1a2; E3b; E3b1a (E-M78); E-V13; I; I1; I1b2 (M-26); I2; I2a; I2a1; I2b; J2; J2a; J2b (J-M12); J2e (M-102); J1; R1a; R1b; G; G2a...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA):

The Albanians have very common haplotypes with those of other Mediterranean and European people. If any individual who belongs to any of these haplotypes, but it is not culturally Albanian, would have been taken back naturally to the evolution of the common Pelasgian culture, which is found today among Albanians, The Albanians have very common haplotypes with those of other Mediterranean and European people. If any individual who belongs to any of these haplotypes, but it is not culturally Albanian, would have been taken back naturally to the evolution of the common Pelasgian culture, which is found today among Albanians, this process would not have been called assimilation, but instead it would have been a cultural renaissance towards a true globalization, as it was the Pelasgian era, where all the people were , as it was the Pelasgian era, where all the people were one (similarity in culture). If an Albanian decided not to inherit this culture which was directly evolved among Albanians, it would be called If an Albanian decided not to inherit this culture which was directly evolved among Albanians, it would be called assimilation.

The modification and modernization of the Pelasgian culture, is a natural progress, but its abandonment is assimilation. During history, the Albanians have not assimilated other people (even though they have been continuously assimilated by other new emerging nations), but anthropologically, the Albanians can be found in all of the Mediterranean and European people. In fact, Albanians constitute the original image in the mirror of all the people around them. In another article I will bring data and details on the haplogroups types of the Albanians and their amazing antiquity (2).

The roots in history (Pelasgians)

“If there is a truly autochthonous race in the world it is certainly the Albanian race” (3). The oldest name that identifies the culture or the autochthonous people on which Albanians stand (derive), is Pelasgian, who were characterized by a common language and cultural values (4, 5, 6… 7 (3). The oldest name that identifies the culture or the autochthonous people on which Albanians stand (derive), is Pelasgian, who were characterized by a common language and cultural values (4, 5, 6… 7), “who lived since prehistoric times in most parts of the world then known, developing a very important civilization and building various structures of remarkable value" (the megalithic culture (8)), their time has a continuity from (the megalithic culture (8)), their time has a continuity from prehistory to to history. After the many frictions between them, there appeared some serious cultural cracks which brought to wars in between the Pelasgian tribes.

The Albanians are the oldest mixture of the Pelasgian tribes that by instinct The Albanians are the oldest mixture of the Pelasgian tribes that by instinct withdrew themselves to the mountains of Illyrian peninsula, as a result of the wars after the first cultural divisions and language divisions, which as a result brought to , as a result of the wars after the first cultural divisions and language divisions, which as a result brought to division between nations. Similar withdrawals of Pelasgians happened even in other corners of the three continents that surround the Mediterranean, where usually these people (nations) were called Albans (because they usually survived in the mountains (30)). Amongst Albans of the Balkans crouched other Illyrian, Thracian, and Etruscan tribes, in one word, Pelasgian tribes, that survived still not assimilated; meanwhile the Albans in other places of the earth got assimilated by “others” around them. The Albans of the Balkans are the only ones that have survived from that time, while the others evolved and mixed with other cultures, creating in this way other nations. The Albans of Balkans (Illyrians and other tribes from the same people/culture, as Thracians, Etruscans, etc.) that had remained unassimilated underwent other contractions by continuous invasions, mainly from the east, north-east and south-east.

If they would have ever done that, today they would have been identified as similar to Albanians and would have spoken their common language as in antiquity, the Pelasgian language, which is the closest language to the Albanian language.

Even the conclusions reached from analysis of religious texts tell us that the Pelasgians are the people that lived before the prophet Noah; the ones who were divided at the time of the famous Babel tower, from which a small original part survived from that time and is Even the conclusions reached from analysis of religious texts tell us that the Pelasgians are the people that lived before the prophet Noah; the ones who were divided at the time of the famous Babel tower, from which a small original part survived from that time and is continuously shrinking around the Mediterranean mountains. . Their unassimilated core remained finally snuggled in the mountains of Illyrian peninsula. (7)

After we mentioned the After we mentioned the diversity from where the from where the Albanian core came from, it is ironic the fact that even the territory where these people dwell and survive, is unique; a relatively small territory where even the mountains, fields, rivers and seas seem to have been snuggled inside it. Around the Mediterranean, it is one of the few places that offers a tight closeness of the mountain with the sea, and where at the same time the climate is divided in mediterranean, tropical and subtropical. Albanians undergo all the extremities of a climate, experiencing a cold winter as in the north-west of the world and a hot summer as in the south-east of the world. The humidity of the air is lower than the west and higher than the east, that is why the summer temperatures, even though lower than those of the east, are experienced higher, just like winter being freezing and colder than in north-west. This particular climate extremely influences the multidimensional tampering of the main characteristics of the human race. came from, it is ironic the fact that even the territory where these people dwell and survive, is unique; a relatively small territory where even the mountains, fields, rivers and seas seem to have been snuggled inside it.

This high climatic diversity, as well as geographical (relieve) and historical one, have done their part in the shaping of the Albanians.

Culture

The language (7), the symbols (9), (7), the clothes (10), (7), the dancing (10), (11), (7), the songs (12), (13) and all the cultural elements that configure the national identity, are in a full balance with other factors mentioned up to now, thus, they have emphasized diversity elements in origin (starting point) and represent an attractive mosaic for the globalized world.

It is outstanding how in Albanian language are included all the possible melodies created by the phonetics of the world languages. Even in the Indo-European language axiom, the Albanian language cannot be divided in neither of the eastern (satem) or western (centum) branches. are included all the possible melodies created by the phonetics of the world languages. Even in the Indo-European language axiom, the Albanian language cannot be divided in neither of the eastern (satem) or western (centum) branches. It stays in the middle, because it has elements of creation of both branches (14), (7). (14), (7). Hundreds of sub-dialects, in a relatively small territory, shows a particularity that tells more about the history of the shrinkage endured by the ancestors of Albanians. Their tribes have lived in remote distances from each-other to the point of evolving their common language in different aspects, but the subsequent invasions have obliged the ancient autochthones to retreat to the closest mountains (15).

What about symbols?

Starting from – Well, in the Albanian cultural identity, there are miraculously preserved some of the world’s oldest symbols.

Thus, many ancient cultures, or already lost ones, can find resemblances in the symbols used continuously by Albanians.

Other colors can be used in relation to special cases like rites, feasts and wealth, embroidery with gold is an example of the later.

There are used many musical instruments in the Albanian folk songs, and strangely enough the more instruments are being used the more “Albanian” they sound! Not coincidentally, Albanian music tastes do not exclude neither tunes coming from the east nor those coming from the west, and when creating music, they use elements from both these different music poles. It is interesting to mention that since the very beginnings of the world music, where sounds were created by using natural materials like stones, leaves, wood, and until the modern times where a number of instruments are used at once, the Albanian music remains the same as in ancient times, preserving its uniqueness. !

If we notice carefully the singing style of Albanians, from north to south, it would be a fascinating travel in time. The chain of Albanian songs has its own links in accordance to the tribal differences, starting from the north where there is one voice (mono), traveling through the central Albania (from Tetovo to Kercova), where double voice is used, and continuing to the south where many voices sing in a song (polyphony).

This heritage, generation after generation, is the holiest and noblest part of the Albanian culture which differs it from a culture that is learned and indoctrinated in institutions. The heritage does not leave room for any fakeness, while the pseudo social indoctrination does.

As a uniquely well known worldwide model, we can mention here the Illyrian emperor of the Roman Empire, the great Constantine, who died as a pagan but made monotheism (Christianity) official for the first time in the year 313, in his capacity as a Roman Emperor (from that time Europe could be called Christian). Not to mention here the life of Georg Kastrioti Skanderbeg who bears in himself exactly this in the year 313, in his capacity as a Roman Emperor (from that time Europe could be called Christian).

The survival of this culture has spontaneously harmonized the issues of those that focus on the “branches”.

The Albanian culture stands on deep roots. The entire preaching chain of The Albanian culture stands on deep roots. The entire preaching chain of monotheistic prophets, together with , together with paganism on the other hand on the other hand, coexists harmonically inside of the Albanian culture. inside of the Albanian culture.

Because the creation and development of every kind of religion, since the creation of mankind, is equal to the birth of the Albanian (the formation of our nation is not influenced only by one religion, one ideology or any geostrategic interest), that does not reckon a starting point or a division from the common Pelasgian root, but is (the formation of our nation is not influenced only by one religion, one ideology or any geostrategic interest), that does not reckon a starting point or a division from the common Pelasgian root, but is a direct cultural and racial evolution, together with the rest of mankind, preserving naturally in itself the , together with the rest of mankind, preserving naturally in itself the multidimensional differences of the common core. . Whichever old religion that exists today, or has their roots in the common Pelasgian times, or is a continuity of that tradition - automatically becomes a religion of the Albanians too!

The mutual name of all these periods is the . The social and political organization of Albanians has always been variable depending on the circumstances, originating since the city-states of the ancient times (another indicator of an Albanian characteristic of contrariness against each-other), until today’s tendency to create the united nation (a tendency that has remained unfulfilled). The mutual name of all these periods is the difficulty of the Albanians in creating a political unity. The reasons behind this are different, some of which are mentioned beforehand.

Just like everything that goes towards division, opening, development, both from macro or micro point of view, where since the Big Bang explosion, the universe moved fast towards expanding and dividing; in this way, from a micro point of view, mankind goes towards a continuous opening and division. The divisions brings forth “the different one”, who causes diversity which causes conflicts as well, that is why mankind has continuously invented ideologies that bring people together and homogenize them. But these ideologies were not at all synchronized with the human nature, thus they have failed. Empires, caliphates, old and new ideologies, all they have failed or are in failing process.

The Albanian case is very specific, because they are created from the unification of the oldest tribes in the region, forced by the continuous invasion of other cultures which were nothing but divisions of the same old root. This forced union for survival, as a result of historical circumstances, from the side of those old tribes of the same Pelasgian root, living in a relatively large area away from each-other, has created a mosaic and extreme heterogeneity within the national homogeneity of Albanians. The long time they have passed together with their natural human feelings to stay separated, to evolve while staying distant, has caused an extreme individuality in the Albanian society. Now there are no more tendencies for tribe division or formation of new nations, as it was in antiquity, but the phenomenon has infiltrated to “atomism” or to the individuality.

The Albanians should create themselves a model of social functionality, because just the copy of a foreign model simply will not fit with their cultural singularities. In fact, they should model a political system where can be omitted successful elements from .

It is clear that these singularities cannot be the same with another nation’s ones, and thus a mere copy can create a chaos. The most peculiar singularity of the Albanians is .

Not every old thing is good as well as not every modernity is necessarily beneficial, thus, Albanians should recognize their inherited goods and should modify them in a modern way, in order to protect themselves from the negativity of the modern times and successfully express their singularities in the future.

Nationalism

This notion that is identified through the national identity, is a natural evolution of the social organism since antiquity, that includes people that identify themselves as being alike, through having the same language and culture, history and common symbols (27) that homogenizes them at that point that they start to perceive themselves as a people with the same present or future interests. These interests or tendencies that are related to their social, economical and political status are deeply embedded in their being, which is forged through years on end. This is how a culture is formed, this is how a civilization is created, this is how a nation is born and consequently this is how the notion of nationalism is born. Extreme nationalism sends us to other mainly negative occurrences for the globalized society, like racism, the super-nation or the supremacy over other people. On the contrary, the identifying nationalism, that protects, manifests virtues and does not anathematize nations, cultures or races, is called positive nationalism. Following this thought I would highlight here the wise saying of our dear KadareThis notion that is identified through the national identity, is a natural evolution of the social organism since antiquity, that includes people that identify themselves as being alike, through having the same language and culture, history and common symbols (27) that homogenizes them at that point that they start to perceive themselves as a people with the same present or future interests.

Since the beginnings of nationalism are in tribalism (27), as clans and tribes roots are in families; the gathering of various similar tribes that spoke the same language (primordialism), create a nation, but in the case of Albanians this formation is more specific, and has a different history than that of other nations, who besides having the same language as a starting point have also other bases for their nation formation, like religion, economy, politics or other experimental standards.

For the Albanians, a starting point does not exist for the formation of their nation! They are a cultural continuity of three races: dinaric, alpic (that is often considered as part of the dinaric one) and mediterranean, who have lived and dwelled around the Mediterranean in three continents, since prehistory. These races are an integral part of all the nations living in these three continents, but in the mountains of the Illyrian peninsula was saved their cultural continuity since their creation. who have lived and dwelled around the Mediterranean in three continents, since prehistory. These races are an integral part of all the nations living in these three continents, but in the mountains of the Illyrian peninsula was saved their cultural continuity since their creation. After the continuous division of cultures/ languages, other new nations started to form while getting away and continuously changing from their Pelasgian stem. This process has continued and still does, meanwhile the unchanging part of the stem still remains around the Mediterranean, and as a result of continuous expansion of other different cultures/people that has caused . This process has continued and still does, meanwhile the unchanging part of the stem still remains around the Mediterranean, and as a result of continuous expansion of other different cultures/people that has caused a continuous restriction towards the epicenter - the mountains of the Illyrian peninsula.

All the tribes that had remained without being assimilated, and that lived far away from each-other (from “Hercules Pillars” in the west, until Caucasus in the east, and from the Baltic sea in north until Egypt in south -15, 28), different races but with the same culture, undoubtedly their provision causes a centrifugal friction from local diversity, as well as a centripetal affinity right to each-other from the risk of assimilation and total extermination, in the other hand.

“The Albanian nationalism” (when it is stripped of all the copied elements of foreign influence, in itself is not any less then national self-awareness), in comparison with that of other nations, it is not invasive or dangerous, but it is very unique and at the same time very contradicting, to the point that cannot be distinguished clearly how the Albanian ethnocentrism in itself may mean multiculturalism (globalism), which is reflected in all the cultural, social and religious elements. This occurrence is closely related to the Albanian being, as the direct extract of the nations’ stem. This occurrence is closely related to the Albanian being, as the direct extract of the nations’ stem. Deep in the Albanian conscience, the whole mankind can be perceived as a sole “nation”. When we see nationalism from a global perspective, it looks limiting or like self-isolation, but since the modern society is divided in nations When we see nationalism from a global perspective, it looks limiting or like self-isolation, but since the modern society is divided in nations, the Albanian who has a natural drive towards globalism, has to copy some foreign nationalistic elements, that would help him create his own nation and to catch up with the others without thinking much that even this system can fail in the future; they have to burn fast the phases which the other nations have already passed. This process is a condition for survival, and after having passed this transitional period, the Albanian has to contribute in the global world as a consolidated nationalist, because only in this way the Albanian can contribute alongside with the other people that are already well settled in their nations.

Today’s Albanian, in principle (taking in consideration the fact Today’s Albanian, in principle (taking in consideration the fact that they are ignorant in knowing themselves, an issue that comes as a result of the extraordinary conditions these people have gone through since their creation), scorns everything Albanian and always admires “the foreigner” as a being evolved in greater freedom in relation with them and much more developed than them. The greatest example is the index of , an issue that comes as a result of the extraordinary conditions these people have gone through since their creation), scorns everything Albanian and always admires “the foreigner” as a being evolved in greater freedom in relation with them and much more developed than them. The greatest example is the index of eurocentrism and multiculturalism among the Albanians, which is much higher than among Europeans themselves.

Being Albanian, it is not only a way of thinking, behaving, a culture or a psychological/social drive; In order to have all these, one has to be born as such, thus, having registered in your DNA all the unique heritage of these people that has survived in extraordinary circumstances since the creation of mankind. People are the same everywhere, while the historical differences can differ them even genetically.

People are the same everywhere, while the historical differences can differ them even genetically. To take care and being focused only about the problems of the present, means to come around in circles of inherited consequences. So, people tend to forget the causes, but not the science!

The diversity in thinking is a virtue, while homogeneity would create only a flock, herd or a crowd of people, servile to each-other, and we know that in this point Albanians are well known of being too haughty.

Without taking under consideration the consequences of this characteristic, in malfunction among the many imported systems, Albanians should know how to use this cultural tendency for their good. Every Albanian is a model for their diversity, it is not important whether they are right or wrong in what they think and regardless of the level of their intellect they have used, or the information they possess, the import part is their approach to oppose, to challenge, isolating their self individually in what they think.

The lack of intellectual knowledge does not have anything to do with the unused capacity. Meanwhile, the anthropologists talk about pronounced capacities of the Albanian race. There exists as well many kinds of other everyday “products” that are famous for their ignorance and should not be taken in consideration. There are many others who remain silent because of the various conditions which have influenced them. Meanwhile, the anthropologists talk about pronounced capacities of the Albanian race. There exists as well many kinds of other everyday “products” that are famous for their ignorance and should not be taken in consideration. There are many others who remain silent because of the various conditions which have influenced them. Their need to speak in “big words” even for the most common Albanian, derives from the time when their predecessors founded the basic sciences of antiquity and especially the philosophy. Even if this tendency sounds pretty funny when we compare the circumstances with the words, it is good to remember that the circumstances are just a consequence, and we are talking here about the cultural tendency, and if we know how to select it first and use it afterwards, then the Albanians would have the power to change these difficult circumstances. .

The Albanian, naturally tries to show his greatness, in every cultural element that was inherited to him, like the moral codes, the open language accent (that entwines in itself the most “wild” sounds and the most melancholic ones), the traditional dances, the rhapsodic songs, the amazing clothes and up to the body stature while walking. The Albanian is extremely peaceful, when his moral codes do not allow him to be ferocious, but at the same time, he can become extremely cruel, when his war relates to his moral codes.

Thus, do not oblige Albanians to behave the same Thus, do not oblige Albanians to behave the same (communism), because in this way an anti-human crime is committed. They are not “tempered” for such a system. At the same time, do not divide them in classes because in this way an anti-human crime is committed. They are not “tempered” for such a system. At the same time, do not divide them in classes (capitalism), where money and not morals would be the measurement.

So, So, do not expect the same behavior wherever you find a group of Albanians. Without taking under consideration the real nature of the action (the measure of insanity or good behavior), the same behavior wherever you find a group of Albanians. Without taking under consideration the real nature of the action (the measure of insanity or good behavior), a group of Albanians will never act the same; even though one of them will appear to be very talented, the fool one will contradict with overconfidence until the end, and vice-versa.

Do not expect that there will not be that there will not be party breakers in a party organized by you, where you have invited a bunch of Albanians. There is no doubt that there will be such a thing.

Thus, Thus, do not expect all the Albanians to fight their enemies in complete unity because there will for sure be bad all the Albanians to fight their enemies in complete unity because there will for sure be bad traitors, or others that will find a million of other reasons to take an extreme stand, different from the others.

Thus, Thus, do not expect all the Albanians to unite in one state, there is no doubt that there will be of them that will create another extremity to follow.

The Albanians are a small group of the world culture. The Albanians are a small group of the world culture. They will face nearly the same problems that the world will face until up to its most extreme corners. This is true even for the positive priorities. The Albanians carry in themselves both sides of the medal.
